In depth
Verdict
Wynbury Flyer, Inigo Jones and Renaloo are three against the field in a race where most of the runners are badly out of form and the tentative vote goes to Renaloo. The selection is well in on his best form and although he has become very disappointing of late he is given one last chance to get his head in front. Inigo Jones rates the main danger on his latest third behind Sharpaten but his best form is over a longer trip and for that reason is opposed.Wynbury Flyer is another worthy of respect he will like the ground and is from a yard that is returning to form so his is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Brazil could go well if his jumping holds up but he failed to complete the course last time so is passed over on this occasion and in a race full of imponderables for the winner we return to Renaloo.
